आवरणं महदिन्दोः कुण्ठविषाणस्ततो अर्धसंच्छन्नः । स्वल्पं रवेर्यतो अतस्तीक्ष्णविषाणो रविर्भवति ॥ ५-१२ ॥

sanskrit

What eclipses the moon is bigger than the moon; what eclipses the sun is smaller than the sun. Hence in semi-lunar and semi-solar eclipses, the luminous horns are respectively blunt and sharp.
